All wheel drive (AWD) models shift power between the front and rear set of tires to keep a car's traction consistent during light winter or off-road drives. This functionality allows drivers to go on paths normally not conducive to regular rides, especially in recent years where AWD capabilities have improved immensely. AWD serves as one of the biggest highlights found in the Ford SUV lineup, as most of its models do include all-wheel drive features.
Ford's take on all-wheel drive, Intelligent AWD, provides an advanced drivetrain system that monitors every bit of data, including:
- How the handling or traction performs
- Rate of acceleration
- Wheel speed
- Steering wheel angle
- Accelerator pedal position
All torque gets sent to the rear wheels whenever bad weather conditions start to arise, while the front wheels gain more power to optimize fuel resources.
Given that Ford also offers Intelligent 4WD, which functions differently from Intelligent AWD, some models received AWD features while others received 4WD features. Our new Ford vehicles equipped with AWD include:
- Ford Fusion – This mid-sized car allows drivers to keep passengers safe, even when bad weather starts to creep in.
- Ford Edge – The Ford SUV helps you make it through rougher roads in Wilmington, DE, thanks to its AWD features and overall design.
- Ford Escape – The Ford Escape SUV has a sleek profile that complements its AWD system for a secure and comfortable driving experience.
- Ford Transit – The Ford van holds a large amount of cargo or passengers. AWD features help to keep the ride from getting too bumpy.
- Ford Mustang Mach-E – An SUV with the performance of a muscle car, the new Mach-E uses AWD to keep your adventures exhilarating but safe.
